Me and my spouse and daughter recently moved to the Kansas City area from a small town. A few years ago we lived in Topeka and I flipped through some channels and came across KTWU/PBS Sunflower Journeys and they had a segment on the Ammunition plant. I grew up fascinated by old buildings etc. but never was able to go exploring. We took Hwy 10 to Overland Park one day and I saw the water towers and immediately wanted to go sniff around. As you can probably tell, I still have not yet been able to get close to it _________________wishfulthinker

anyone been out there lately? went out a couple months ago in the dark, couldnt see well enough to move around much but did check out Richard's house and lake as well as what we thought were bunkers but turned out to be some kind of boilers. wanting to hit it again if anyone is interested in going with, I have a great way in.

I would love a chance to go out there but it may be a while before I even get close to free time enough from the daily routine. Since it would be my first time, It would probably be better having people along that had been there before. I'll keep checking back._________________wishfulthinker

The development people at Sunflower have leased the hunting and fishing rights to an outfitter organization that will be providing hunting opportunities and selling hunts at the Sunflower location beginning with the Turkey season in April. They will also be taking people fishing through the summer and there will be a lot of deer and waterfowl hunting during the fall. They will begin developing hunting stand locations and do quite a bit of work out there once the weather settles down. It is my understanding that anyone caught on the property for any reason will be held for the police and arrested. There will be increased patrols once the hunting actually begins. I would suggest not going out there for any reason - all of the safety concerns aside.

Or just don't bother, if you're careful you can be in and out without issue. Just don't approach from the east, apparently that's where the cops are. My friend and I have explored the majority of the central structures and have a detailed map built of the buildings. It's a really cool place, PM me for tips, and be careful not to get caught.
